This year I really have no option, because the air conditioner is not laboring at all.
Usually I am lucky enough to get a tax refund, and i look at it as an extra paycheck, a little bonus money I can use for getting something useful done, and when you live paycheck to paycheck it’s hard to afford the little extras, or even to service something when it breaks, however last year all our plans got sidelined because a new cannabis dispensary opened up & was having a sizable sale; The entire tax refund went towards buying cannabis, & our exhausting air conditioner did not get the tune up it needed. This year I really have no option, because the air conditioner is not laboring at all. It went for too long, & worked too hard, to survive another year, & now I fear I may have to buy a new air conditioner! I don’t suppose I could afford that no matter the size of our tax refund, because have you seen the price of air conditioners these afternoons? I will need to get our central A/C repaired, or start looking at alternatives for cooling down our house… For now I am doing okay, because the Autumn temps have been nice & cool in the evenings, so I haven’t needed to use the air conditioner as much. I do have hope for a repair, because the central heating seems to be laboring fine, it’s just the cooling aspect of the Heating, Ventilation & A/C method that is in disarray. I am waiting to hear back from H&R Block about our taxes, & then I will think what our budget is for Heating, Ventilation & A/C repairs.
